Developer. Problem Solver. Builder.

I'm Jacob Friess, founder of everyHLP LLC based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. After a decade in enterprise environmentsβ€”leading data teams, building analytics platforms, and solving complex business problemsβ€”I discovered something: most people's digital tools are broken.

So I fix them. Or build better ones.

I use AI as a force multiplier, not a replacement. It helps me move 3x faster while maintaining the quality and thoughtfulness that comes from real experience. The result? You get enterprise-grade solutions at startup speed.

Expert Capabilities

We don't just build websites. We build outcomes.

⚑

AI-Accelerated Delivery

We build in days what agencies build in months. Using advanced AI-augmented workflows, you see a working prototype before you even sign a contract.

🎯

Competitive Intelligence

We analyze your local competitors to find the gaps they're missing. Our sites aren't just modern; they're engineered to win your local market.

πŸš€

Performance Engineering

100/100 Lighthouse scores aren't optional. If your site isn't the fastest in your industry, you're losing customers. We fix that.

πŸ”

Legacy Modernization

We take your 2010-era site and turn it into a 2026-era profit engine. No downtime, no data loss, just pure digital evolution.
